Instrumentation Technical Specialist - Pharmaceutical Capital Projects
Onsite: Indianapolis, IN

Work at the center of instrumentation execution for critical pharmaceutical projects

PACIV (Process Automation, Controls, Instrumentation, and Validation)

We support large-scale capital projects across the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. We work in highly regulated manufacturing environments where precision, documentation, and execution are critical.

We are looking for an Instrumentation Technical Specialist for our Indianapolis, IN office to support instrumentation activities across active capital projects in Indianapolis.

Important: In this position, “instrumentation” refers to process instrumentation used in manufacturing systems; including devices such as flow meters, pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, level instruments, and valves.
Does not include laboratory or analytical equipment.

This position focuses on execution, coordination, and material readiness, ensuring instrumentation is properly tracked, received, documented, and available to support commissioning and project timelines.

This is a hands-on position working with manufacturing instrumentation in a regulated environment. It is not a design engineering position.

What You Will Do
You will play a key role in the coordination and management of process instrumentation throughout the project lifecycle, from planning through turnover.

Instrumentation Planning and Coordination

Coordinate with Project Management and Procurement to plan, schedule, and forecast instrumentation activities
Align material readiness with project schedules and commissioning requirements
Support planning specifically for process instrumentation used in manufacturing systems

Material Management and Tracking

Track the status of instrumentation (e.g., transmitters, gauges, valves) from order through delivery
Maintain accurate records within project tracking systems and databases
Interface with warehouse teams to support receiving, storage, inventory control, and distribution

Receiving and Verification

Execute receipt verification in accordance with commissioning requirements
Inspect instrumentation and confirm documentation completeness (calibration, compliance, etc.)
Identify and resolve discrepancies such as damaged or missing materials

Logistics and Handling

Coordinate routine and expedited shipments of instrumentation
Ensure proper packaging, documentation, and chain-of-custody for regulated environments

Documentation and Turnover

Prepare and compile turnover packages, including:
- Datasheets
- Certificates of compliance
- Calibration records
- Warranties
Ensure all documentation meets GDP and cGMP standards

Issue Resolution and Project Support

Support resolution of non-conforming instrumentation with internal teams
Provide updates on instrumentation readiness, material status, and risks
Support multiple concurrent capital projects in a structured, deadline-driven environment

What a Typical Day Looks Like
You will work directly with process instrumentation used in manufacturing systems, verifying received equipment, organizing documentation, updating tracking systems, and ensuring materials are ready for installation and commissioning. You will also work closely with project teams to keep instrumentation aligned with schedule and compliance requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (or equivalent experience)
Minimum 2 years of experience in a manufacturing, process, or regulated environment
Experience supporting equipment, instrumentation, or material management in project settings
Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
Ability to manage multiple priorities across concurrent projects
Organized and structured approach to tracking and recordkeeping

Preferred Experience

Pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device industry experience
Hands-on exposure to process instrumentation; flow, pressure, temperature, or level devices
Experience supporting commissioning, validation, or turnover documentation

Ability to work effectively within GDP/cGMP environments

Compensation and Benefits

Generous paid time off, vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
Healthcare coverage with 90% of premiums paid by PACIV
Health Savings Account with company contributions
401(k) with company match up to 4% and immediate vesting

Why Join PACIV

Support high-impact pharmaceutical capital projects
Work directly with manufacturing instrumentation and regulated systems
Gain experience in compliance, instrumentation management, and project support
Opportunity to grow into senior technical or project-focused positions
